MetaTrader 4: We did it!

Quote from Killmenow:

Soo does it mean i can run mt4 strategy tester ?
i have attached "macd sample" expert advisor and I can not run strategy tester at all neither from View -> Strategy tester nor with Ctrl+R. I've installed 173 version.If it's included , why it's not available for testing?

We are testing Strategy Tester. In MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal Release version (appear on first of july) you`ll find it.

Is it possible to test a strategy in MetaTrader if you don't know much about coding/etc?

Of course, you can test your strategy. Strategy Tester tests the strategy, but not the code. It allows to test how will your Expert Advisor will trade on given data.

If you can write your own strategy (Expert Advisor - automated trading system), so you cant test it. In this case try to contact to guys who code it in a commercial basis.

Flakas, MQL 4 is not crappy. API as it was in MetaTrader 3 will not be realized, but using MQL 4 you can use external programs. Try to check /experts/sample directory in root of MetaTrader 4 client terminal.

I looked there, I tried to compile the VC6 project, I compiled the DLL... However, I still can't imagine how to use it... . Please advice
If I have a bit complicated trading system in Matlab, can you tell me what should I do to connect it to MetaTrader4? In MT3 I had the possibility to read data trough API into Matlab and send order from Matlab trough API to the server. maybe MQL4 isn't crappy but I am afraid the Matlab Language is simply more powerful, I can't imagine the rewriting the +10,000 rows of matlab code into MQL4...

Write DLL on Matlab.
this may help you: http://www.codeproject.com/dll/MatlabSharedLib.asp

Thank you for the link...
If I understand correctly tho only thing the new MT4 does support are the external DLLs. True?
- A big step backward..., I hope the brokers won't implement the "new" MT4 to early...

First of all you can write DLLs from any high-level programming language. Low-level protocol of MetaTrader 4 was closed for security reason.

Well, I understand... the later the brokers accept the MT4 the better...
